  • caerhawk, your a moron....music for twats by a twit??? I suppose you have more musical talent? This guy is a genius! And on top of that, when he developed focal dystonia in his left hand/forearm instead of giving up he learned to play left handed...do you know how hard that is??? like perfectly speaking the English language BACKWARDS! Your a Dbag! Go home and listen to your queerstreet boys records!

  • heeeey people! has anybody heard before that you can get a lot higher on billy's songs than on drugs? XD

    This guy is a fuckin genius! :))))))))))

  • I first heard Billy in the 90s he played at the Univ of Arkansas for a couple of years. The last time he played here was there he flipped his van on black ice....They havent been back since. :( Back when I was in the military his music would get me thru the times I was missing being home and away from family & friends. I am glad I had the chance to meet this incrediable guy :)

  • @NewWaysMusic gutted for you, that sounds like it really sucks. If you feel inspired by this guy, check out the guys who have no arms and play with their feet, they are something else altogether(and quite good). They have worked out their own tunings to do it. Truely inspirational. They won't be told no.

  • Going to see his solo performance on Thursday, and I couldn't be more excited. Keep pushing forward, Billy!

  • I'm a musician myself and i am currently hurt and i can't play. I gotta tell ya. I literally cried watching this video and learning about Billy's story. Thank you, really. U are an inspiration to me.

  • @d07a He has some kind of neuro muscular disorder. Now he plays with his left hand instead, which is pretty fucking impressive.

  • I'm smiling!!!!

  • @treuchburns they did, pbs called changing keys, the billy mclaughlin story

  • My mom is good friends with him.

  • Django Reinhardt, another fantastic guitarist, overcame the paralyzing damage of his left hand sustained in a fire. Django is one of the finest guitarists that ever lived. McLaughlin is an inspiration in the same way.

  • @robinson8907 He performed at my college and I got his autograph one year. I share the name of one of his sisters.
